I’m working with some community focused people to put together a multi city event in South America currently planned for May with stops in Peru, Chile, Argentina and possibly Brazil.  Looking forward to connecting with this region.  It’s appearing more like there may be opportunities for speakers.  Reach out to Jose Morales on twitter or stay in touch with the blog for an announcement for attending or speaking these conferences across South America.  More details to come…
